This page describes TFTP operation on IBM RS6000 systems.
The
IBM RS6000 does not start TFTP in its default configuration.
It is easy to start the TFTP protocol with the SMIT tool. If
you use the fast path mechanism with the SMIT tool, this is very
simple.
Type:
smit inetd.conf
This points the tool to the inet daemon configuration file and
gives you a menu for the daemon's processes, (list, add, change, and
delete). If you "list" the processes, you will see that TFTP is absent.
Using the "add" command, you can click on TFTP and SMIT adds it to the
running daemon processes.
The TFTP daemon does not run in secure mode by default, so it
is ready to load the ViewStation's files from any directory.
